GTA 5 might be over a decade old, but it still runs the streets. While everyone waits for GTA 6 to finally arrive in 2026, this one remains the go-to sandbox for open-world chaos. If you are done following the rules and just want to blow things up, break the police, or fly across the map, you are in the right place.

This is the most complete and up-to-date collection of cheat codes for GTA 5 across PC, PlayStation (PS3, PS4, PS5), and Xbox (360, One, Series X and Series S).

Cheats work only in single-player. They will not do anything in GTA Online. Michael, Franklin, and Trevor can break the rules, not your multiplayer character.

GTA 5 Cheat Codes: Rules and What Not to Expect

Before you start bending the rules of Los Santos, it helps to know exactly what cheat codes can and can’t do.

Cheats are great for testing limits, stirring chaos, or just having fun off the critical path. They are not a shortcut to full progression or permanent advantages. Think of them as a temporary sandbox, not a rewrite of the game’s systems.

  • Cheats disable trophies and achievements while they’re active
  • Save your game before using any codes
  • Reloading the game turns cheats off and restores trophy progress
  • There is no money cheat in GTA 5, despite what some sites claim
  • Want cash? Use the stock market, replay heists, or grind assassination missions. Cheats fuel mayhem, not your bank account.

How to Enter Cheat Codes

There are three ways to activate cheats depending on your platform:

  • Button Inputs (Controller): Tap the code using the D-pad and face buttons while standing in the game world
  • Console Commands (PC): Press the tilde key (~) to bring up the command console, type in the cheat word, then hit Enter
  • Phone Dial Codes: Open your in-game phone, go to Contacts, and type the number using the keypad

Phone cheats work across all platforms and are often the easiest to use on consoles.

GTA 5 Cheats for PlayStation

These cheats are built for PlayStation players who want to experiment, blow off steam, or push Los Santos to its limits.

They’re easy to toggle and fun to abuse, but timing matters. Enter each code quickly using the D-pad, and make sure you know the rules, because cheats come with a few important trade-offs.

Most Useful Cheats to Keep Handy

These are the most commonly used for fun or emergencies:

  • Invincibility: Survive 5-star chaos without dying
  • Buzzard: Instant attack helicopter with missiles
  • Lower Wanted Level: Escape police attention without restarting
  • Super Jump: Great for shortcuts and stunt jumps
  • Explosive Bullets: Cause pure mayhem fast

When Cheats Are Not Working

If a cheat fails to activate, it’s usually a timing or input issue, not a broken code. GTA 5 is strict about how cheats are entered, so small mistakes can cause them to fail silently. Run through the checks below before trying again.

  • Enter codes fast, with good rhythm
  • Use D-pad, not analog stick, for directional inputs
  • Make sure you are in Story Mode, not Online
  • Confirm platform-specific code matches your console

Director Mode

Director Mode is like a built-in cheat sandbox. Access it via the Interaction Menu:

  • PC: Press M
  • PlayStation: Hold the Touchpad
  • Xbox: Hold the View button

It allows you to toggle cheats from a menu and play as different characters, including animals, without disabling achievements. Perfect for experimenting without messing with your main save.

GTA 5 cheats are all about messing around, testing limits, and seeing what kind of ridiculous trouble you can stir up. Whether you’re dodging cops with invincibility on, calling in a Buzzard for some quick air support, or just launching yourself into the stratosphere with Skyfall, the tools are here. Just remember to save first, take your time experimenting, and don’t expect trophies while the codes are active.
